Actually, the Amilcar was a French car company (1921-1939) There were cars
built under licence in Italy under the name of Amilcar Italiana, under that
of Pluto in Germany and of Grofri in Austria. I alway thought it was a
Bugatti she was driving, but this information is listed here:
http://www.atalante-models.com/amilcar/ami.htm saying it was the Amilcar
she was driving in 1927 when she was strangled by the scarf.
